I have a abscess gum from an impacted tooth (I had it extracted 3 weeks ago). The abscess itself was cleaned out 5 days ago when I came in for a deep cleaning but it is inflamed again with pus. Should I go back? My hygienist that cleaned it had me schedule a checkup a month from now to check the pocket but the Pain is severe (but can be controlled with OTC meds). She said if it didn’t improve in a month she’d put antibiotics directly inside the pocket. Not sure if it would be smart to wait a whole month for this since it looks like it’s back already. What do you suggest?

You need to see your Dentist asap. Painkillers are not the cure, antibiotics are.

You should see your dentist right away. Obviously, you can't wait an entire month. You might develop blood poisoning by then.
